Requests For Evidence (RFEs) -- Recognizing the costs, of both time and human capital in the processing of RFEs, we have been working to eliminate the need for unnecessary RFEs. Some of this improvement has been accomplished by memoranda, such as the recently issued memorandum advising adjudicators that in most cases it is not necessary to request updates of financial information that was current at the time of filing. Other improvement requires regulatory changes that are being drafted.
Card Issuance – By the end of the month we plan to publish an interim final rule to allow ourselves to issue Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for periods greater than 1 year. Over time this will enable us to eliminate the unnecessary repetition of applications for renewed cards.
